The five-star from Windermere, Florida committed to SMU on Tuesday night.

“I knew it was a good school, but they had never reached out to me and I had never reached out to them. But once Grant got there, it was automatically really high on my list,” Redelijk said. “I definitely trusted Grant a lot.
